Most likely a sequel as Rebuild 1 starts with the same picture that EoE ended with.
Also several visual hints can be found throughout the movies that seem to imply that several events seen in EoE happened.

This and then there are the many, many things that Kaworu says in Rebuild 3.0 that make it pretty obvious.

I see. You mean somethink like the Re-Take doujinshi where Shinji gets a second chance or something like that.

Sort of, but I'm not sure whether the words "second chance" are appropriate considering what happens in 3.0.

Spoiler:

If anything, Shinji made things as bad or even worse than what happened in EoE (as we all know, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions - and the poor guy proved that every step of the way).

Furthermore, we don't know what exactly brought this about as, at the end of EoE, Shinji was no longer within both Lilith and Eva and thus had no "divine" means to alter the world, Unit 01 was bound for deep space and away from human reach and Lilith was falling apart (not sure what ultimately happened to her soul, though).

Good grief why do the Japanese take so long to convert these into home media? I mean the Avengers showed in the summer and came out on DVD not too long ago. Japan on the other hand takes a year or so to get it on DVD.

Awakening of the Trailblazer was on Blu-Ray three months after it hit theaters, and that had massive legit marketing hype from being the first completely new theatrical Gundam movie in 20 years or whatever going behind it. The Rebuild movies just seem to take a retardedly long time for their release.

Anyway, I'm kind of in the middle of reading Vampire Hunter D Vol. 1 right now, but I thought I would take a moment to post the following 4chan screencaps involving spoilery Evangelion 3.0 things:

It's comments like these that make me really question Anno's directing of Rebuild. Shinji's character has a true purpose in Evangelion's narrative and is IMO one of the most complex and interesting characters in all of anime. To see people like Rebuild because Shinji "grew a pair" or the likes makes me really depressed as an Evangelion fan. This is not why I love the franchise. Sure good for those viewers and nothing against them, but this is not what Evangelion is meant to be in my eyes.

Also, ANN crew were more fun before they became bitter, old, and jaded (hey, I admit it's something I wrestle with all the time, being a decades-long anime fan myself). Though Bamboo, at least, seems to occasionally remember she used to have fun as an anime fan now that she's back to helming Shelf Life.

Just watched 3.0 in Kanazawa...I really wonder now how Kaworu fits into the whole picture. I don't think he's Adam this time round but who knows...I'm beginning to think more and more that Rebuild is a parallel world. If it's TV continuity, a major reset definitely occured. Kaworu seems to have gone through this many times before

Their main beef with the movie seems to be that Misato should've explained everything to Shinji right off the bat, which would've prevented the bad things in the movie from happening. Also pointing out that the hostility towards Shinji seems entirely unwarranted.

However...it was pointed out to me today by one of my friends, who is acquainted with one of the guys behind the Kotaku review (and dislikes him), that when they first wheel Shinji in, (and I've confirmed this with the movie program), the writing on his foot sez "S. IKARI ??"

So basically, the people of Wille don't know WHAT they've retrieved. Is it Shinji? Is it an Angel that looks like Shinji? Is it something entirely new...?

So Misato would have to be pretty stupid to divulge ANY information AT ALL to a possible Angel, wouldn't she...?
